I close my eyes, and the kettle sings -
Steam curls upward through time, whispering stories of patience and peace.
Each cup holds a century, each page a dream steeped in quiet light.
In her sketchbook, eleven-year-old Ivrah draws herself into a world where time slows,
where every culture shares its wisdom through the ritual of tea.
As she dreams, she becomes the young woman she aspires to be –
calm, creative, and centered in the stillness between sips.
